What are we holding on to in these times of great change and profound transformation? This is what is at the heart of “KEEP”, AEB's motto of get connected 2025. Because one thing is certain: Connection and interaction make a difference: in the supply chain, across borders, in digital and our real life. Hence our motto:

K E E P
KEEP GOODS IN MOTION
KEEP MINDS OPEN
STAY CONNECTED

The topics all come from the fields of global trade, customs, trade compliance, logistics, transport, sustainability, and collaboration - always with a focus on technology and IT.

These three tracks will structure the day:

• SUPPLY CHAIN
• CROSS-BORDER
• TECH

Additionally, we offer inspiration on how to get and stay connected in:

• REAL LIFE

K E E P - after a successful trial run in 2024, we are making get connected even more international: Most of what takes place at get connected will be offered in German or English. Many sessions will be translated simultaneously. Our promise: Even if you don't speak a word of German, you will get the full get connected experience.

So: Please invite your international peers and colleagues...

It's no surprise that get connected continues to reinvent itself - so there will be a few surprises :-).

This much we can say: After 2024's FOMO moment with many different sessions taking place at the same time and individual agendas for nearly every participant, in 2025 we are also focusing on connection and interaction in the program: That is why we have created three interlinked tracks.

You can expect 2 x 2.5 hours of input within the three tracks:
SUPPLY CHAIN, CROSS-BORDER, and TECH.

Of course, you can still change tracks during the day, but the program within the blocks will be so compelling and the experience in the group will offer so much added value that you will most likely want to stay for the whole track.

Naturally, this also means: Loooong breaks. Making sure that get connected lives up to its name beyond cross-border, supply chain, and tech.

In the late afternoon, we will look at things from a different angle and round out the day's program with deeper, perspective-changing talks and sessions before winding it down with a get together.

Food and drinks will, of course, be provided.

We very much hope that you won't have to. But if you do have to cancel, simply use the appropriate link in your registration confirmation email.

Do you have an idea for the program? Then simply email us to vntsbcm.

Two things are important to us:

• Your idea fits in well with AEB get connected's topics: Global trade, customs, trade compliance, logistics, transport, sustainability, and collaboration - always with a focus on technology and IT.

Or:

• Your idea isn't directly related to global trade, customs, trade compliance, logistics, transport, sustainability, collaboration and technology, but it relates to these topics and offers inspiration? Feel free to contact us.
